The Sd.Kfz.6 5t half-track tractor was developed by the Bussing-NAG plant in 1934. Later, from the BN9 type, the Maybach NL38 TUK100 engine was used. It has a high speed of 50 kilometers per hour and can carry 7 crew members. A total of 3,500 vehicles were produced. The Sd.Kfz.6 5t half-track tractor was developed as a troop carrier type (Sd.Kfz.6) and artillery type (Sd.Kfz.6/1) and a Flak 36 37mm anti-aircraft gun type (Sd.Kfz .6 / 2). A total of nine BN9b chassis of this type of semi-tracked tractor was modified on the body of the German African Army with a large armor plate and equipped with a Russian-made 7.62 cm anti-tank gun as a self-propelled anti-tank gun used in North Africa. According to the data, Sd.Kfz.6 semi-tracked tractors are widely used on all fronts of World War II.
